I log in here on average every six months or so, just in hopes that there's a new version or some exciting new features have been added, but, sadly, nothing new...

I was 'on fire' for Ultra HAL for a long time, and saw real potential in it, but with the 6.x version most of the old plugins and addon scripts stopped working and it became an entirely different beast from what I was used to.

Zaphod you need to dig a little deeper , there has been other things created , like what doonycram and others have mentioned. i even in the past have helped with others to create a halsense vision plug in for hal . which used with yawcam software can trigger hal to talk when motion is detected . new versions of hal have not came forth as fast as when hal changed from 5 to 6 etc. but Robert has been working on other things , like a mobile hal with characters etc. I highly recommend the doonycram plug in that has grouped many good plug ins from various people into one . hang in there with hal , all good things come to those who wait !!

I agree with Art, 15 dollars is a good price , especially considering prices on things now days , 15, dollars for the new hal 7 gives you a lot of bang for the buck for the many plug ins etc.that you can use with it that hal gives the user, and the newer hal is better ! cyberjedi also is working on many new things as are others .
